Title: Address generation polynomial and permutation matrix for DVB-T2 16k OFDM sub-carrier mode (de)interleaver
Inventor: TAYLOR MATTHEW PAUL ATHOL
IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2008-10-17
Abstract: The standards for DVB-T/H specify (de)interleaving symbols to/from OFDM subcarriers. It further specifies an interleaving address generator that comprises a linear feedback shift register and a permutation matrix operating on the shift register bits. The DVB-T/H specifications include 3 modes with approximately 2, 4 and 8 thousand sub-carriers, and interleaver address generators for these are known. A proposed DVB-T2 specification includes three new modes with 1, 16 and 32 thousand sub-carriers. The invention specifies a polynomial to be implemented in the LFSR and a permutation matrix for the 16k mode. R(i)[12] = R(i-1)[0] xor R(i-1)[1] xor R(i-1)[4] xor R(i-1)[5] xor R(i-1)[9] xor R(i-1)[11]  0:9 / <B>1:7</B> / 2:6 / <B>3:10</B> / 4:12 / <B>5:5</B> / 6:1 / <B>7:11</B> / 8:0 / <B>9:2</B> / 10:3 / <B>11:4</B> / 12:8  Simulations have shown that the proposed system provides good separation of adjacent symbols and hence good noise immunity.

Title: Fans for grain cleaning section of a combine harvester
Inventor: SORENSEN JAKOB BRO
IPC: A01F12/44
Filed: 2009-08-14
Abstract: A combine harvester (10) comprises fan apparatus (26) for generating an air stream through cleaning apparatus (24) to separate chaff from grain is provided. The fan apparatus comprises a plurality of fan modules (35) for generating mutually spaced air sub-streams. The cleaning apparatus comprises an auxiliary air intake located between two adjacent air sub-streams, and means 52 to narrow the passage for each air sub-stream adjacent the auxiliary air intake 50. The narrowing serves to create a region of lower pressure (L) due to the venturi effect. The low pressure region draws air directly from the environment into the air stream through the auxiliary air intake thereby reducing the transverse component of the sub-streams and providing a more uniform air flow through the cleaning apparatus.

Title: A photon detector
Inventor: THOMAS OLIVER EDWARD
IPC: G01J1/44
Filed: 2009-11-09
Abstract: A photon detection system with an silicon (or its heterostructures) avalanche photodiode and a biasing voltage source. The voltage source applies a static do component and an ac component to the photodiode via a inductance and a capacitance respectively on a bias tee. An output circuit removes a time varying voltage component from the output signal. This may be through the use of a delay line and difference, phase shifter and combiner or band rejection filtering. The incidence of small numbers of photons may be detected by the cancelling of the photodiode's capacitive output through this form of gating bias.

Abstract: 573,734. Preselector mechanism for variable-speed gearing and signalling apparatus. DERUNGS, E. A. June 28, 1943, No. 10435. Convention date, Dec. 23, 1941. [Class 80 (ii)] Preselector control mechanism for variablespeed gearing or railway signalling apparatus comprises selecting tilting members 11, pivoted at 14 on a block 15 which is guided for up-anddown movements by a slot 26 and a fixed pin 1. Each tilting member 11 has slots 17, 18, abutments 21, 22, 50 ... 53, and cylindrical faces 19, 20, described about the pin 14 as centre. Each tilting member lies between a member 2 pivoted on the pin 1 and comprising a pair of plates connected by pins 5 ... 10, of which pins 5, 7, 8, 10 coact with a tilting member 11 and the pins 6, 9 are connected with the.parts to be actuated, e.g. gear change members. Associated with each tilting member 11 is a pair of spring-urged plungers 30, 32, of which 32 can be adjusted by a cam 37, 38 or 39, rotatable about a rod 31 fixed to the block 15. The latter is connected to the forked end 48 of a lever H pivoted on a fixed pin I and linked to an operating lever F. According to the position,of the plunger 30 the tilting member, provided it is free to move, can take up three positions, viz. : two inclined in which either abutment 50 or 51 abuts against the block 15, or a central non-inclined position. The parts of the block 15 engageable by the abutments 50, 51, may be spring-supported. In operation, to preselect a new working condition, the cam carrier 35 is rotated to vary the -spring tension of the plungers 30. When the desired change is to be made, the lever F is actuated to rock the lever H and cause upward and downward movement of the block 15. During the upward movement such members 2 which are to be changed are brought into the central or neutral position and the tilting members take up their new positions and upon the downward movement the 'thrust is transmitted from the block 15 to one or other of the abutments 50, 51 and thence to the members 2 by the projections 52 or 53 and pins 5 or 10. The plungers 30 may be springless. In this case preselection is made after the block 15 has been raised.
